Liam's Birthday Party

Sunday was an exciting day for us. We celebrated Liam's 2nd birthday with family and friends by our side. He is such an amazing little boy with such a sweet spirit about him. Mischevious, yes...strong willed, most definately... but oh such a sweet heart. I am learning so much more about him each day. Happy Birthday Liam....I love you so much!
